Join a Toy Drive

During the holiday season it’s important to remember those less fortunate. Join a toy drive and encourage customers to do the same. Advertise your participation on social media by tagging the charity that you’re working with and asking them to retweet or share the post for a greater impact. Participating with other local businesses for the benefit of children is a great way to get your food truck’s name into the community.

Photos with Santa

Customers love pictures and pictures are great for social media marketing. Plan a photo opportunity at your truck by inviting Santa to visit. Almost everyone wants a picture with Santa so give customers the opportunity to market your business for you. Provide props like Santa hats or tinsel garlands and let customers go to town. Make sure to include a hashtag with your food truck and share, retweet, or regram customers’ photos on social media.

Show Behind the Scenes

Show customers what your food truck is like during the holidays with video marketing. Take customers into the kitchen with a video of preparations for the holidays. People are curious by nature and giving them a sneak peak behind-the-scenes action will set you apart from your competitors.

Send Holiday Cards

Customers love to be appreciated. Send holiday or New Year’s e-cards to your email contact list. Marketing is about keeping your food truck on the radar of customers. Something as simple as wishing customers a Happy Holiday or Happy New Year is an easy way to get people to check out your website and keep your food truck at top of mind.
